Alexis was an amazing sitter! Anubis loved their time together. Alexis was very professional and put my mind at ease when I was out of town. She provided great pictures and detailed updates. Would certainly book with her again!

Alema had great communication, was timely, took lots of photos, brought sanitized and clean, enrichment toys for my kitty to play with with her and checked that my kitty's feeder and fountain were working properly and had enough food and water. Would love to have her as a sitter again.

Super great pet care!! Each check in was described well and I got photos of my pets each time. She even met me an extra time so I could hand over my keys before leaving, and was super understanding when I forgot to send a delivery code once! I felt like my pets were in great hands!

Denisse did drop-ins to check on my cat and she was great. I could tell my cat really warmed to her and enjoyed being around her! She seems to understand cats very well. I know none of us like to be away from our fur babies, but I definitely felt a little more at ease with Denisse’s detailed updates and photos letting me know how my cat was doing. Overall, Denisse did a fantastic job — she was thorough, communicative, and flexible from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Alex was great!! This was my first time booking a sitter through Rover and I was a little nervous but he went above and beyond for me and the kitties. Everyday he sent lots of great photos and detailed summaries of each visit. Two of my kitties are very shy but my very sociable son absolutely loves Alex. He told me his vibes are good lol. The whole time Alex was very communicative and overall really great. I’m sad I’m moving away soon or else I would totally book Alex again & again. I would recommend him to anybody that needs a pet sitter, you can really tell just how much he loves animals. Thank you Alex!

Kristen was great with my pups! Both of my dogs are rescues and one in particular can be very timid. I can always tell when she'll be okay with someone and she was great with Kristen from the start. Kristen showed up at the requested times, sent plenty of photos and updates and I wasn't worried about my dogs one bit while out of town. Thank you Kristen!

She is a godsend! I have an older very timid dog that really struggles with new people. I honestly was worried that she wouldn’t go outside with the first visit when I wasn’t home. Within two days she she was totally OK with being around Jennie! Jennie has also been so kind to her and mindful, for instance, it was really hot today so she kept her in the grass instead of the pavement. She sits with her even when she’s done with the walk. I could not have asked for a better human to watch my pup! I have her on repeat for drop ins 3x every week while I’m at work and will continue to do so!

My cat is always super skiddish of people, but they both came right out to Krystin when she stopped to check on them. We were both so surprised! I was very appreciative of the pictures she sent to me as well!! Thanks again!! I’ll be using her again to watch them for me soon.

About: As a child I was always the person that was bringing home the lost and injured animals I came across. Not much has changed as an adult. I worked with a pet rescue for over a decade, unfortunately the rescue was dissolved but my love for animals has not faded. I have experience with many different species of pets, ranging in age from newborn and needing to be fed every 2 hours to senior animals that need extra care and patience. I am experienced in giving medicine, and providing all the love and attention your fur babies deserve. I am currently in a career transition and taking classes part time at a local college so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets and make sure they have as much love as possible. I am very diligent in making sure all of your requests are followed to the letter. I personally have a dog that needs wiped after she potties to prevent UTIs and it is a deal breaking for me when I can tell a sitter has not followed my instructions. I understand that routine is important and strive to be a few minutes early for every appointment. I also understand that someone other than yourself caring for your beloved furbaby can be stressful for both you and them. I strive to ease as much of that stress for both parents and furchildren as possible. As a pet parent myself who also uses a sitter when I have to be away for any length of time, having that trusted sitter is life saving.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals my whole life. I’ve personally taken care of puppies, senior dogs, cats, rodents, and animals with special needs. I’m a preschool teacher in the mornings and tend to have a lot of free time. I look forward to taking care of your furry friends!! 🐾❤️ I work as a preschool teacher from 8 AM to 12 PM on weekdays. I can come over before and after that and am completely free for overnight stays when needed :) I always keep a close watch on pets to keep them out of trouble, especially when outside. I’m comfortable with anything from crates to couch cuddles and will be sure to be consistent with your rules/norms. (I only pet sit at owners home).

Chloé was incredible! Each day I was given detailed updates about my two kitties along with great photos - some I’m wanting to frame! Cats seemed happy and healthy throughout our absence. Chloé went above and beyond to support when our cats had upset bellies and was kind enough to take care of additional household tasks like feeding our birds. It’s great to know our boys are in great hands while we are gone.

Susan was extremely punctual and helpful during her drop-in visits and I couldn’t be happier! She went above and beyond making sure the area around the litter box was clean, sending plenty of pictures and keeping my cat well-fed and provided with lots of treats. I’ve got an extremely shy kitty and she made the effort to keep him comfortable without pushing him, the second I got back home he was right back to his happy self. Will definitely book again the next time I need a sitter
